Hey, pretty funny that KuraFire is a nym for Faruk Ateş, but you responded to me as KuraFire not as Faruk Ateş. Since my criticism goes to Faruk Ates, in the interest of full disclosure you probably should have told us who you were.

Sigh. You should be careful that your use of nyms does not make you look intellectually dishonest.

Well, Android runs a javaesque language, and still they had to rewrite... because Mobile isn't Desktop.

rsyslog's documentation is pretty abysmal, so you can't be faulted for giving up and doing something else. It's actually pretty extensive and useful, the documentation is just awful. Since he's hard at work on v7 I had hoped the documentation would get a little better, since rsyslog is better than syslog-ng in one way (you don't have to pay for local disk buffering), but alas, I'm left hoping.

imfile just injects messages from the tailed file as if they were read from another source. rsyslog just lists a bunch of sources, then dumps all the messages (based on filter) to a destination of your choosing. If, at the end of your configuration you have something like this:

*.* @@syslog-collector:514

All messages regardless of source will be relayed to syslog-collector port 514. If it's an rsyslog receiving on the other end, try this:

*.* @@(o,z9)syslog-collector:514

That enables experimental framing that rsyslog can understand, as well as zlib level 9. rsyslog will decode it on the other end just fine. Rainer will tell you to use RELP instead for relaying from rsyslog to rsyslog, but good luck getting it to work on any distribution. A minimal tail-and-forward config would look like this:

$ModLoad imfile
$InputFileName /var/log/myapp.log
$InputFileTag myapp:
$InputFileStateFile myapp
$InputFileSeverity 6
$InputFileFacility local0
$InputRunFileMonitor

*.* @@syslog-collector:514

That will tail myapp.log, inject messages as INFO on local0, then forward them to syslog-collector prefixed with "myapp:" on every line. It will not, however, collect the system syslog ... you need to prefix with this for that to happen:

$ModLoad imuxsock
$ModLoad imkmsg

I'm the creator of Opa.
When we released Opa in June 2011, it had only a native backend. Most of the feedback we got was to support a standard runtime, which we did when we chose to target Node.js as we already generated JavaScript client code.

Why (now Opa supports HTML5 and the like) do you think native backend is better?
I don't remember who it was, but someone said "the thing that we are most afraid of, is inconvenience"
1. I could have raised my rate at any time, but I didn't until I read the book. If you haven't raised your rates for seven years, I'm guessing that you've thrown away six figures of lost income. I say this based on an assumption founded on the observation that something like 98% of freelance developers are undercharging for no reason at all. I was. You are. Even just taking inflation into account, you should be charging 20% more now, not to mention an increase in skills, tightening of the developer market, etc.

2. The ebook is something like 90-100 pages and includes a lot more examples, anecdotes, worksheets, and other practical advice than a blog post would. Like you, I've read tons of blog posts about this topic. And like you, I was lazy about raising my rates.

Honestly, I can't believe we're even having this discussion, given our rates and the leverage they imply. If I bill 1000 hours a year (I bill considerably more), every extra dollar in my hourly rate is worth ~$600 annually, after taxes. So if an ebook like this includes a single sentence that changes my thinking or behavior enough that I can justify an extra buck per hour, then it pays for itself 12x over in the first year.

Oh, and I used a $10 off coupon and I wrote the cost of the book off on my taxes, so it really cost me about $25. So it would pay for itself about 24x in the first year if I raised my rates $1. Again, can't even believe we're having this discussion.

No, nobody is going to think this track is a substitute for a clean and complete version of the audio. If you think that's what's going on here it's because you're making the mistake of thinking that the market for personal enjoyment is the only one served by publishers.

The commercial loss, in this case, comes from the failure to pay for synchronization rights, which is a major source of revenues for artists and music publishers.

You may think this is "stupid" but that's only because you're considering this problem from your perspective alone. You have to remember that copyright - for most of its existence - never came into direct contact with the general public. In that regard, it was like regulations from the FAA or the FTC. I fully agree that, from the perspective of individuals suddenly subjected to its complexities, it seems stupid. And in many ways, it IS stupid. But often, the actual stupidity is very different from the apparent stupidity, which actually makes perfect sense if you know enough to consider the full picture.

What I'm saying is that approaching the problem of reform from your perspective alone is like approaching astronomy by describing the way the world seems to you, not the way it actually is. In other words, you're not going to be able to advance from a Newtonian conception of gravity to Einstein's if you're still stuck in the pre-Copernican view that insists everything revolves around the Earth because that's they way it appears to you, personally.
> don't expect change to come from Amazon or some boycott thereof. The change should come from us by way of better governance.

Devil's advocate: Rights are inherent, and an external authority (government, etc.) cannot by definition grant them; it can only restrict them (though whether it should is separate).

It's a subtle point, but I bring this up because it's more in line with the way Stallman thinks, so to miss that point (for any other readers) is to misunderstand Stallman.

It's actually an extremely powerful marketing technique to tell people exactly who the product is wrong for. It's an extremely powerful marketing technique to shape the product from its very beginning to discourage certain types of customers. Honesty is a killer app in marketing, assuming you pick your customer base (audience) carefully.

That's how I've made lots of money.

How you are describing "marketing" is actually "marketing" as you describe it -- simplified, glossed over, and half-true at best.

> Well I don't think Bigfoot exists either. But falsifying that claim would require very careful investigation of the whole Maine landscape(or wherever Bigfoot supposedly lives).

This is your primary logical error, one that runs thorough your entire essay. No one can possibly falsify the idea that Bigfoot exists, because it would require proof of a negative, and proof of a negative is an impossible evidentiary burden. This is why scientists have adopted the null hypothesis as the core posture toward unresolved questions -- it saves huge amounts of pointless effort.

On that topic, you very clearly didn't bother to read the Russell's Teapot Wikipedia entry, so here it is again:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russells_teapot

> Here is my take on experiential evidence ...

Don't bother. "Experiential evidence" is not evidence, any more than a horse chestnut is a chestnut horse -- meaning that the words we choose can't change the identity of the thing being described.

> I myself have had several experiences that led me to find some of Grof's ideas credible.

Where is your evidence? Subjective experiences are not evidence. Anyone can report personal experiences, but this doesn't turn them into scientific evidence.

Let's say that my "personal experience" is that women are dumber than men. Does this personal experience stand as an argument against gender equality and justify a change in public policy? Not in a society that either respects the scientific method or is able to think logically.

For a dozen reasons, science is not steered by anecdotes. If this were not true, I could claim to have cured the common cold, and here's how: I shake a dried gourd over the sufferer until he gets better. It might take a week but the patient always gets better. So, based on my personal experience, I deserve a Nobel Prize for curing the common cold, isn't that right?

> So I can sympathize if even this post does not convince you.

Want to persuade me? Locate some evidence. Evidence by its very nature is objective and repeatable. Personal experiences are neither.

You've chosen to live in a world ruled by belief, and you have every right to do so. But I think you may want to try to imagine how your defense of these beliefs looks to an educated person.

Is there any chance we can get access to this article without having to pay?
Your whole attack falls apart here, because none of Brennan's products are about how to build products. They're all about how to better do consulting (which he has done and continues to do). There's a pretty strong difference here.
Technically, your state government charges sales tax. Amazon just helps them enforce it, instead of trusting that you'll be honest and pay it yourself.

I'm just confused about why you think I'm running a smoke-and-mirrors shop.

I have a ton of testimonials from people thanking me for helping them raise their rates. If you email me, I'll send them to you.

I take a lot of offense that you think I have "the proper degree of BS mixed together with things I've learned in a short period of time" and that I'm "taking advantage of people."

I am delivering value in exchange for money. If people didn't think the value outweighed the cost, I'd be getting refund requests. By stating in your profile that you had a really expensive, old computer back in the day - I'm guessing you're older, and there's ageism at play against me? My customers don't care what degrees or credentials I have attached to my name, as long as I deliver on my promise - which I have.
I am so super excited about this game. Really interested to see what comes of the whole 'shared multiverse' ideas that he was talking about ... especially when joined with the programmable computers, I can't wait!
Convenience is an ethical soundness, it just isn't usually taken that way.

Shifting commerce to digital and personal, just-in-time shipping, and customer-centric are good. Ugly business practices, creepy data mining, and DRM are bad. If you want to wave your hand at "conveniences", why wouldn't I wave my hand at "philosophical quibbles"?

Amazon is a mixed bag. For me, it's more good than bad. Putting your blinders on to the good for the sake of argument is not convincing.
Guys! The point of this article is not to prescribe the only method of displaying human-readable file sizes. Obviously one could use `ls -lh`; the author clearly demonstrates that he is willing and able to read man pages to find answers.

Rather, this is a pretty interesting look into what it actually entails to make what ought to be a very simple and straightforward change.

It turns out that these simple changes are hard! Not just in identifying the piece of code to modify, but that man pages are often incomplete or unclear. It also illustrates the complexities behind making software portable - in this case, using the nation-neutral place separator. It also reminds us that solving what is on the surface a simple problem lets one uncover all sorts of interesting and messy details underneath - including more problems to solve!

These are steps that he'd have to take no matter what the code or feature. This article is not "complexity for complexity's sake", it's illustrating the complexity of making changes to any piece of code - and that it is surprisingly difficult for something that one would think is very easy!
The only legitimate reason I can think of to not order off of Amazon is because sometimes you end up paying for express shipping when they would have got the item out to you in the same amount of time anyway.
I don't understand where you're coming from; all of his products are about how to be better at consulting, not how to create info products or SaaS apps. If he was selling books on how to write and sell books, that would be one thing. But he's a consultant writing and selling a book, a workshop, and an app on how to be a better consultant. To me, that's no different than a successful attorney writing a book on how to run a successful law firm.
A complex subject. Stallman makes valid points, we do need fair laws that keep corporations from bad behavior while otherwise staying out of their way to do business.

I vote with my wallet at two extremes. Locally, I enjoy spending money at the small businesses in my neighborhood that I really hope stay in business and make a fair profit. At the other end of the business-size spectrum, I love the convenience of Amazon for ordering physical goods and having them delivered to my home in the mountains.

I understand the negative aspects of DRM but I really like the Kindle platform. It is true that I may not always have access in the distant future to what I have bought, but in most cases I won't want a lot of what I buy to read in 10 years (and it will probably be available for as long as I live anyway). I pay a lot less (usually) for Kindle format books and they are available on all of my devices, with automatic syncing to furthest location read. Also, my study/home office is already filled to capacity with bookshelves - now I just buy really special books (on Go, Chess, Art books, some classic computer science, etc.) as physical books and enjoy otherwise saving the space on my bookshelves.
True, but the physics that produced the CMB during recombination is the same as the physics that produces light in stellar atmospheres.
But it's cheaper!!! ;-)

This is a free market, Amazon wins, the other loses. End of story. Just ordered another book ON AMAZON. Free shipping, no sales tax!!
The points this article makes no longer apply.

Unless you need webgl, appcache or contenteditable there's no good reason not to support at least IE9. The effort to support it is negligible, if you're already doing opera, firefox and webkit. And if you're doing contenteditable on all three of those, you might as well do IE as well and make those gray hairs actually mean something.

The split personality in the HN community is interesting.

On one hand, you have things like "never let the perfect be the enemy of the good; better to have a product that works than to get everything right".

On the other, you have things like "Amazon puts DRM on their ebooks and terminated Wikileaks. Boycott everything they do."

Amazon is innovative enough and has benefited my life enough that I'm willing to sacrifice some freedoms for that convenience. Richard Stallman, however, cannot be happy if you make that decision on your own. Eventually, you have to ask yourself if you want to spend your life obeying what an influential person tells you to do (and sacrifice conveniences to hold the world to a higher standard which will never be realized), or realize that ships sail and you'd rather be on the ship than yelling at it with clenched fist from the harbor.
But you didn't ask them which they thought would drive the most growth. You asked which they prefer, which is personal.
Nothing. It's a typical ad hominem attack and the parent comment either 1) doesn't understand that this does nothing to invalidate an argument or 2) doesn't care.
Even if, say, 95% of stock is held in long-term investments, high-frequency trades will dominate the metric "% of trades executed", since high-frequency trading holds the stock for less than 1/20th of the time long-term trading does.

Suppose num_long shares of stock are held in long-term investments, as a permanent feature of the economy. Suppose further that the average duration of a particular long-term investment is two years. Then every two years, num_long trades will occur under the banner of "long-term investing".

Suppose num_hft shares of stock are held in HFT investments, and that the average duration of an HFT investment is one day. Then every two years, 730.5 * num_hft trades will occur under the banner of "high-frequency trading".
Even if Windows phone is a viable platform only a very small minority of users actually use it. As a startup there are more important things to do than optimizing your product for a platform that no-one uses. If you as a user want to use those sites just use a phone/browser that supports current Web standards.
"Their unfortunate experience reminds us that we must continue our work to empower and educate users about our robust privacy controls."

More bullshit from Facebook. Instead of accepting that it's a privacy issue to allow people to subscribe you to groups without warning, they say that it's the fault of these users for not knowing about these settings. It's infuriating. They keep changing settings to make Facebook more and more public, and telling people that privacy is an option that you need to enable.
Gentle reminder: unless your state doesn't have sales tax, you probably still have to pay use tax.
A lot of people are bringing up the consumer issues related to using Amazon. But also consider the implications for publishers.

What I got from it that you get problems if you advance far enough and then don't keep going. The benefit claimed in the first part of the series is having a permanently clearer sense of your thinking process, whatever that means exactly.

I really prefer the 'this may mess you up if done wrong' meditation instruction to the usual sanitized new agey pap, purely on aesthetic level. It makes meditation sound like something that can actually be effective. Like a scalpel instead of a homeopathic solution.

The problem is not the hardware: the hardware will read Free books just fine. The problem is that Amazon wants to sell you books that will only work on their platform, since those books subsidize their hardware. (Oddly, not much stops you from buying books from other stores, except that those stores all use different DRM. It's like heard immunity or something.)

Publishers are also hesitant to offer their books in DRM-free format because book piracy would otherwise be rampant. (The fact that there's a torrent for every Kindle book ever just goes to show you how effective DRM is. Once again, it's another DRM scheme that only hurts legitimate users and publishers, but the lawyers tell everyone otherwise and so everyone is happy. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.)

There are some publishers that just offer ebooks as PDFs that you download from their website. My book is like that (though it has a PDF password that your reader can just ignore), and some other books I've bought are like that. "Programming in Scala" is just a pure PDF download after you give them your money. It's a nice system and the rest of the industry will catch on soon. For now, publishers seem to enjoy working with middlemen that take a 30% cut of the author's revenue, but people are getting tired of the middlemen and with that, DRM will slowly fade away and open ebook platforms will be the norm. Just give it ten years.

Here is maybe a silly question: I order food every day. I make a phone call or use a website, and an hour later, a pizza or sandwich shows up to my door.

What is prohibitive about doing this for groceries, toiletries, or other other arbitrary merchandise?

It seems like if I order "banana pudding" from my local pizza place, I get it in an hour. If I order "a banana and cup of pudding" from FreshDirect, I have to wait for them to deliver it the next day within a 4-hour window.

Is there something fundamentally different about shipping goods as compared to shipping ready-made food? Why don't we already see more of this?
